Review: Unica possibilità per la grlllx
Review: I like it a lot, although I need some practice to get used to it and to understand how much of the space gets captured. It is really helpful for times when it’s too bright outside. The original price of course is not as affordable but I did get mine when it went on sale. The quality really is worth the amount.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***T on 2 July 2023*

Think of the GR3x as $1299 camera with a optical viewfinder, not as a $240 add on. Photographers will buy a $1000 camera body knowing that they will need to buy at least a $300-400 lens to shoot photos. Basically the same cost as a complete GR3x but instead of having to buy a lens it’s a optical viewfinder. The Ricoh GR models don’t include a flip back, weather sealing, or electronic viewfinder. I know we dream of having them, but it is what it is. No need to factor that against it’s strengths. Big bulky cameras are always available with all those features except they won’t fit in your pocket. I purchased the GV3 viewfinder because: 1) I can frame up a scene without turning the camera on. 2) It’s easier to compose in bright sunlight. 3) Holding the camera to the eye, especially in low light, allows for steadier shots.
